Emergency Management Planning Toolkit for Local Authorities and First Nations

Emergency Management BC has published an Emergency Management Planning Toolkit for Local Authorities and First Nations, a self-guided emergency planning toolkit to support communities who are creating or updating their all-hazard emergency management plan. An all-hazard emergency management plan describes clearly how people, property, and the environment will be protected in an emergency and provides a road map of actions that will be taken when an emergency occurs.

Planning Toolkit for Local Authorities and First Nations

The Toolkit is written to be comprehensive and user-friendly while allowing communities – rural or urban, small to large, to adapt their planning process to suit unique emergency management needs and capacities. It includes:

Companion Documents to the Toolkit

The Planning Process Checklist is a printable checklist to track your planning process. It lists the ten steps of developing an emergency management plan, as described in the Planning Guide found above. It is in Word format so that you can add, delete or edit tasks as you customize the planning process to meet your community needs.

The Partner Engagement List identifies potential internal and external emergency management partners who may have a role in the planning process or the emergency plan itself. You can expand and adapt this list or create your own.
